at Hart (Winter Game) - started at 3rd and showed arm strength to stick on the left-side of the infield. Plays with low hips and flashed some bat-speed during his ABs

Uncommitted. Kang is still developing physically at 5-foot-11, 180-pounds, but already features some compact strength, especially in the lower-half. The sole 2022 member of the Pacific Baseball Academy squad, he entered the first game as a pinch hitter, and immediately made his presence felt with an RBI, 2-strike single to right field, and followed it with a loud, eye-opening double to left field in his next at-bat. His hands start at the ear, before loading down and back with a late lift before his quick hands drive the barrel directly to the ball. His pitch recognition and balance stood out over the course of two games, and he showcased no timidity as an underclassman. At third base, he featured solid actions, and should be able to stick there or move to second base, and there also may be some potential to shift behind the plate at some point.
